Mines and quarries etc

I am going to make some minor changes as there are some details that are not quite correct. In a couple of places there are references to limestone quarries, but within Cambusbarron itself only the quartz-dolerite was quarried, and the limestone was mined. The exception would be Touchadam Quarry, which did seem to have quarried limestone, but does not really lie within Cambusbarron.

Also reference to the coalfield is incorrect and Fallin and Cowie are out of the area, so I will delete that.
